This data provides deeper connections, helpful context and evaluative guidance to support collection development. Title-level metadata, along with the library’s approval plan, profiling decision support questions, and GOBI’s duplication control and title linking all come together to drive approval plan decisions. ### Collect titles based on your library’s goals and preferences **Approval plans** help you acquire books that match your library’s profile, goals and preferences. Our industry-leading profiling process and rich metadata are the foundation of our approval plans and help you make more informed collection development decisions. Choose to receive books through a variety of print and digital outputs, including automatic shipments, selection lists of matching titles, demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) and more. ### Save time finding recommended print books and e-books **Spotlight Lists** are curated selection lists that feature librarian-recommended e-books and print books. Subscribe, browse what’s new, acquire whole lists or select which titles you want. Spotlight List categories include: - Award Winners & Reviews - DRM-Free - Subject-Focused Lists - Core Titles - Health Science - Undergraduate Curriculum - Popular Fiction & Nonfiction - And more ![Mosaic logo on top of a mosaic pattern with a clock in the bottom](https://assets.ebsco.com/asset/94815f97-3d4c-4459-86c7-5e6d1fedcf98/mosaic-season-3-clock-pattern-gradient-image-780.jpg) ## Back for Season 3: Mosaic Monthly Innovation Spotlight and Open Forum Join us for Season 3 of our popular webinar series as we take a deeper dive into Mosaic’s expanding capabilities and platform growth.
